Well done TER and thanks for all the hard work.
But two stage wins will keep me happy until the Giro. In fact I'd be more than happy with that in the Giro.
too much focus on the 2 time trails, purist means you can't respnd to developments.
Thanks TER for all the hard work though.
Thanks a lot, TER. Glad I managed to win a stage in my first outing on Road.cc. Finally Porte pulled through for me. See you all in weeks time, here or at Cycling Fever.
Why do i always doubt Tiralongo, last year i stuck with him through most of the Giro, i was one of few riders who had him when he went on to win stage 19 i think it was, but he never showed anywhere else.
Giro time again now.....
Stars:
Wiggins (142)
Sanchez (120)
Rogers (108)
Mollema (104)
DS's
Talansky (134)
Clement (80)
Jeandesboz (75)
Tiralongo (73)
Nizzolo (72)
Probably the reason I won, as I had Wiggins, Mollema and Rogers....
That team would be in budget as well but, The only player you couldn't have would be one of the rabobank riders (so you wouldn't have Clement, and then you would have 7.8 credits and the best to replace him with would have been meersman with 52 points, who i also had)
For each stage or as a purist?
Ha! Almost last. Gambled on the sprinters contesting stages 1 & 2 but misread things as usual! Thanks TER, great work - out of interest as you scored all riders - what would the dream-team have been?
So i.......don't win again, here i stand again, playing just for fun, a loser
I'm sure its something like that Hot Chocolate used to sing about
Thanks for all the hard work TER. Youdeserve the win for managing all this ! Give yourself a pair of socks !
Right he goes the final stage score. Great final stage score from Debarrio.

Well I managed to hold off Alan and seal the win, with Wig_Billy sealing a place on the podium
Thanks everyone for playing again.
Oh and for you Lucas, The big picks that were missed seemed to be Jeandesboz (75 points) and Tiralongo (73 points). Also for an individual stage score by going in a break away Ignatenko scored 38 points and wasn't picked.
Wiggo fastest through check point 1, Sanchez 55 seconds down
At the moment, its Porte, Costa and Kreuziger 1,2,3
I don't have anything again Wiggo, just not a huge fan of his, i just prefer other riders.
Game over for Wiggins I feel Do you not like Wiggins then Gkam? I want him to win regardless of how it may or may not impact my fantasy result
Feel the same. Glad Wiggins won even if he pushed Talansky into second. Think you'd won it anyway with Rogers, Szymd and Spilak doing well. I only had de Gendt apart from Talansky. Congrats.
Well i hope Wiggo crashes out, Sanchez wins and Clement comes 2nd
JUST AS I TYPED THAT, Wiggo stopped and the chain had come off and now going slow
Id say its 50-50, or slightly in your favour if you just compare the teams, however me having the 44 points in the bank, id say im slightly favourite, but anything can happen.
I'd kinda agree with you, better to have the points.
We both lost a good TT rider, you in Westra and me in van Garderen, who got hit by a swinging branch of all things, but is ok with only flesh wounds, but nasty experience I would think. Can't say I'd fancy being hit by a branch while descending fast.
Another score like that today could see my come in a surprise second if others TT picks fail
Not bad for sitting a the last couple of places from the start
My first stage was crap as well.
We're both in with a chance.
Hope Wiggins wins though with Sanchez 2nd. Although to win this little comp it would be better the other way round
Right here are yesterdays scores, A narrow in for Alan over Gkam, but dont think its gonna be enough to be able to catch me

Seems Alan you need to make up 44 points on me, its gonna be close. We both have Wiggans and Vichot. My other riders are Mollema, Rogers, Spilak, Szmyd and Hesjedal. Whereas you have Sanchez, De Gendt, Zaugg, Talansky, Zabriske and Slagter.
Id say its 50-50, or slightly in your favour if you just compare the teams, however me having the 44 points in the bank, id say im slightly favourite, but anything can happen.
Just found out he abandoned. Pity that; hope he's ok. Didn't see the early stages of the race only the last 20 mins or so. Tomorrow's TT could be tight. 5 or 6 riders could win although Wiggins will be the favourite.
Van G had a crash today and he was struggling, i think he may have jumped off
Yes. I was going to have Szmyd at first, but de Gendt's done nothing for me. Think van Garderen must have retired as well. Don't know what happened to him. He's not in the general as far as I can tell.
Just a heads up im busy the rest of today, so todays stage points will be done tomorrow morning.
Think it will be tight Alan, cant remember your team though. The fact westra is out looses me a TT man. Szmyd hasnt done anything for me.
108 points and dead last, this has not been my best race ever.
Nice. First stage win in a time. Bit of a fluke though as I only put in LLSanchez when I found out Kessiakoff was off-colour. Find it strange not being able to make changes but at least my team is set out for the TT, which is going to be the deciding factor, (can't see Sats stage bringing any great time differences).
Not sure I can catch up 70 points in two stages though
Right todays points, great stage win for Alan today, closely followed by Wig

I've got lucky, that the likes of rogers/mollema/hesjedal are picking up points on stages I didn't pick them for. I picked vichot for the last 2 stages.
We have had diff winners for the past 6 comps, and I won 1 of those, so by the end I proabbly won't win.
TER .... I am beginning to see why you organised this tournamnet now
Right he are the scores for stage 2 (let me know if you think ive made a mistake, as ive been in a rush yesterday/today)
